Gold Cup day at Cheltenham is all about the Festival’s winning-most trainer Willie Mullins and it’s not just the feature race in which he is well represented.
First up it’s the JCB Triumph Hurdle and Mullins has a seriously strong hand here including the highly promising Blood Destiny, plus the one-two from the big race at the Dublin Racing Festival – namely Gala Marceau and Lossiemouth.
He’s got seven in total and can claim the clean sweep by saddling a sensational 1-2-3.
Win, lose or draw with Galopin Des Champs and Stattler in the big one on day four, Mullins will also be very hopeful of adding to the Friday tally courtesy of classy mare Allegorie De Vassy in the Paddy Power Mares’ Chase.
She had to miss the Festival last season after impressive hurdling wins at Fairyhouse and he’s taken to fences well this term. Her jumping has been a little extravagant at times but a strongly-run race on easy ground will suit her well.
The concluding Martin Pipe Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle is wide open but Patrick Mullins has been very open with how much he thinks Spanish Harlem is well handicapped and the five-year-old novice should be going very close (first 4) from a mark of 135 under rising star of the weighing room, Michael O’Sullivan.
